2013 Map of The Glade

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines the rugged character of this high-elevation landscape in Dolores County, where a complex network of water management features highlights the importance of resource control in the arid Southwest. The terrain is marked by numerous draws and arroyos, including West Branch Pine Arroyo and Rock Spring Draw, which feed a series of numbered catchments like Big Water Reservoir Number Six and Wild Bill Number Five Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with Main Reservoir and Corral Lake, represent a significant engineering footprint within the forest, likely serving regional livestock or forest management needs. The distinct topographical features of The Glade and Glade Point offer a clear view of the plateau and canyon transitions, specifically where the land drops into Dolores Canyon and Glade Canyon.
